Get your facts first, and then you can distort them as much as you please. Mark Twain ( ) Do You Have a Paper? Ask yourself: Do you have enough material? Can you discuss your research within the length of a regular journal article? Is it shorter? Longer? Is the research original? Does the research make a meaningful contribution to the literature? Choose the Appropriate Journal Review different journals to gauge which one is the best fit for your paper Papers in CJSLPA need to focus on topics pertaining to speech-language pathology and audiology If in doubt, check with the Editor! Types of Manuscripts Original research Clinical audit Tutorial Meta-analysis/ systematic review Case study/ case series Reflection/ narrative-based report Unsystematic review Book/ resource review Tips for Writing Write regularly Be persistent Develop a consistent writing style Inspiration is wonderful when it happens, but the writer must develop an approach for the rest of the time... The wait is simply too long. Leonard Bernstein ( ) Getting Started Write something smaller to get started Volunteer to review a book Review a resource Contact the Editor la version en français suit

2 Typical Structure of Data-Driven Paper Introduction Background/ literature review Methods Results Discussion Conclusion Scientific Writing Scientific writing should be plain and simple Scientific writing is technical, formulaic writing Say all you have to say in the fewest possible words, or your reader will be sure to skip them; and in the plainest possible words or he will certainly misunderstand them. John Ruskin ( ) Tell a Good Story A scrupulous writer, in every sentence that he writes, will ask himself at least four questions, thus: 1. What am I trying to say? 2. What words will express it? 3. What image or idiom will make it clearer? 4. Is this image fresh enough to have an effect? George Orwell ( ) Politics and the English Language, 1946 Be Honest About Your Data Draw reasonable conclusions Don t embellish unsatisfactory results; your manuscript will appear untrustworthy Always acknowledge a fault. This will throw those in authority off their guard and give you an opportunity to commit more. Mark Twain ( ) Follow the Instructions Make sure that you read and follow all guidelines for a manuscript submission Format your references according to the required standard Submit a tidy manuscript that is visually plain and clear Is Your Manuscript Ready? Circulate the manuscript to colleagues and mentors Set up a pre-review committee You may have to buy them lunch Send a draft to the Editor The Peer-Review Process Peer-reviewers give your manuscript a critical and thorough review They volunteer their time and expertise to improve your manuscript Please be appreciative, even though you may not like or agree with the review Responding to Reviewers When corresponding with a peer-reviewer, please: Be respectful Don t be argumentative Answer all points they raise, whether you think they are valid or not Document all changes made to the manuscript Use a mark-up or track-changes function to document the changes for the reviewers If Your Manuscript is Rejected You were not rejected; just your manuscript it is not personal It s not unusual: many journals reject up to 50% of the submissions they receive Assess the feedback and consider submitting to another journal Know When to Persist and When to Give Up You must keep sending work out; you must never let a manuscript do nothing but eat its head off in a drawer. You send that work out again and again, while you re working on another one. If you have talent, you will receive some measure of success but only if you persist. Isaac Asimov ( ) If at first you don t succeed try, try again. Then quit. There s no use in being a damn fool about it. W.C. Fields Congratulations, Your Paper Was Accepted!
